Evolutionary anthropology, the interdisciplinary explore of the evolution of human physiology and human behaviour in addition to of the representation between hominids and non-hominid primates, builds on natural science and on social science. Various fields and disciplines of evolutionary anthropology include:

Evolutionary anthropology studies both the biological and the cultural evolution of humans, past and present. Based on a scientific approach, it brings together fields such(a) as archaeology, behavioral ecology, psychology, primatology, and genetics. As a dynamic and interdisciplinary field, it draws on many profile of evidence to understand the human experience, past and present.

Studies of human biological evolution broadly focus on the evolution of the human form. Cultural evolution involves the study of cultural conform over time and space and frequently incorporates cultural-transmission models. Cultural evolution is not the same as biological evolution: human culture involves the transmission of cultural information compare memetics, and such(a) transmission can behave in ways quite distinct from human biology and genetics. The study of cultural modify increasingly takes place through cladistics and genetic models.
